Refrigeration Mechanic (Supermarket Maintenance) – Experienced

Here is work for a technician who can find a leak fast and gas a system up properly, with the air-conditioning maintenance company in Pretoria East. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The work is in Pretoria East, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.
